Bleed Modifier after a reduction

Vampire VA controlled by player A is bleeding for 1 player B. Vampire VB controlled by player B plays Telepathic Counter at superior to reduce the bleed by 2. Can vampire VA play a Conditioning at inferior now? 1) Yes, the total of the bleed is 2 2) Yes, the total of the bleed is 1 (CORRECT) 3) No, the bleed has already been modified by other card and Conditioning has the (limited) text Relevant cardtexts: Name: Telepathic Counter Cardtype: Reaction Discipline: Auspex [aus] Reduce a bleed against you by 1. [AUS] Reduce a bleed against you by 2. Name: Conditioning Cardtype: Action Modifier Cost: 1 blood Discipline: Dominate Only usable during a bleed action. [dom] +2 bleed (limited).
